feck it I just want some potency around our attacking 3rd now. I'd fecking settle for Ryan Babel right now if it meant we would start playing good football.
They come with a hangover. Do not want.Di Maria has put me off Real Madrid rejects. I don't think James suits the PL.
Those who've actually watched him consistently.
What can he do that Miki/Mata can't do? (on paper I mean)
With so many caf members so much against this signing I am confident that if he were to join he would be sensational.

He requires pace ahead of him, on the sides of him plus defensive stability behind him though.
We can't provide either, and trying to provide the secondary will limit a far more talented player in Pogba.
If he contributed defensively, had pace and could play on the wings, then sure. As it stands now he is just a flashier and slightly better Mata.
Pogba has played well in a midfield two for us. He's a lot more tactically aware than he's given credit for.Really? Even next year? While I haven't seen you lately, I somehow struggle to think he won't make the starting 11 soon.
Also I really struggle to come up with a team were Pogba and James fit in together without putting the later on the wing.
Cant wait until the caf meltdown when we sign Michael Keane, Kasper Schmeichel, Eric Dier and James Rodriguez.
So Rashford, Mkhitaryan, Lingard and Martial don't have pace
I can't follow people like you anymore
Are they particularly good at free kicks, corners, crosses? If not, that'd be three things.Those who've actually watched him consistently.

KDB has far more to his game.He is same age as Kevin De Bruyne. I see him as similar player for us interms of position and potential.
And what players do scream 'warror!' to you?James doesn't particularly scream warrior! to me.
I did not misunderstand but simply disagreed with the notion of "pace is paramount". The kid is not Gareth Bale fast but he is not a slow coach by any means. His pace is quite fine as is. Zlatan has never had quick pace but was a great striker in his prime.His lack of pace must be compensated with quick wingers and strikers, so he can distribute the ball to them. I think you misunderstood since you brought up Xavi and Riquelme.
Lack of pace must be compensated by others. We've seen United this season when we've rocked out a slow front three\four. Adding another snail to that setup won't help us much.

Sounds like BS. "A clause that he takes the #10"? Who the feck does he think he is? Definitely BS.

How would your offense look then? Something like this:
----------Rashford----------
Martial-James--Mkhitaryan
--------XXX---Pogba-------
?
While the quality would be there, I wouldn't be to happy with Pogba in this one. Still believe he should play as close to the box as possible and ideally in front of two midfielders.

While its good to have pace in a team, it is simply overrated on this forums. Its the same way some people deem certain players better cos they feel they will be effective in a counter attack.
A team of quality players that lacks pace is still superior to a team of pace merchants that lack quality.
Any player we sign will be better than Rooney so it doesn't count.I'd take him over Rooney all day long.
I really don't understand the negativity on here for some players
James is a brilliant player, excellent passing skills beter than any of our current players, he is a good dribbler, he reads the game very well, he can score those jammy long distance goals we never see at United. He is better than any player we currently have to play on the 10
Would love us to ditch the traditional outdated concept of absolutley needing 2 wingers at United, imagine something like this
-----------------DDG----------------------
Valencia----Bailly----Rojo----------Shaw
-----------------Fabinho------------------
----------James--------Pogba-----------
---------------Mkhitaryan----------------
-------Griezmann--------Rashford--------
If you can't dismantle teams with that, you simply don't know how to manage a football team simple as that
Improve on the quality of the fullbacks and that is a team that should be able to compete for the CL
